Would've been some drunk bogan walking home..

That blows.. hope I don't ever have to go through that. Was it just the window that was damaged? If so just be thankful you don't have to get any panels repaired / resprayed.

Sorry to hear mate. Nic's dad's van had the same thing happen in Brighton on Friday night too. Luckily for her she parked on the drive but it meant the van had to park on the street so could well have been her had they been parked normally.

There was also no sign of the object so not sure if it was a pole that was then taken away but no sign of a brick or object.

Really sucks, losers.

Apparently rear windscreens for R33 don't come cheap either.

My cousin has his broken not to long ago as well, and for O'BRIEN (I think it was) to come out and replace it, he was looking at $400 - $600. Which is just stupid if you ask me..

Thats a lot of coin :)

It isnt an R33 though but still won't be cheap I doubt

its for a lexus sc400 actually. I am looking for a second hand one at the moment.

Oh sorry man. I assumed it was an R33 lol

But I'm guessing it wouldn't be cheap either way. It will probably come under some high priced category for "rear window for import" and the price will be 3 x higher than that for a normal car.

Good luck with it all anyways, there is heaps of wreckers in Melbourne where you should be able to source a windscreen.

Try give some of these places a call tomorrow morning, hope it helps.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
